Responsible Gaming

Gambling always carries risk. Losses are part of betting. Keep play entertaining and protect your finances and emotions.

MegaPari provides tools to help you stay in control. Use them and adopt disciplined habits:

• Set a clear KSh budget before you start playing.
• Use deposit limits on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
• Turn on reality checks and session reminders to track time.
• Take regular breaks to reset your focus.
• Do not chase losses or try to recover them quickly.
• Keep gambling separate from bills, rent, and savings.
• Avoid betting when stressed, tired, or under the influence.
• Stick to your limits even on winning days.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Early warning signs help you act in time. Gambling addiction is a serious condition that needs attention.

Key indicators:

• Spending more money or time than planned.
• Struggling to stop or cut down, even after setting limits.
• Chasing losses and increasing stakes to recover money.
• Hiding betting from family or friends.
• Borrowing money or selling items to fund play.
• Feeling irritable, anxious, or low when not gambling.
• Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities.
• Using gambling to escape stress or difficult emotions.
• Missing payments or building debt due to betting.
• Repeated failed attempts to regain control.

Taking action early protects your health and finances. MegaPari offers practical tools and guidance to reduce harm.

Useful recommendations:

• Set hard deposit limits in KSh that fit your budget.
• Switch on reality checks and session reminders to manage time.
• Schedule no-play days and keep a balanced routine.
• Use short time-outs to pause betting for 24 hours to 30 days.
• Apply self-exclusion for longer breaks if control is difficult.
• Opt out of marketing messages to reduce triggers.
• Remove saved payment methods to slow down impulsive play.
• Install blocking software such as BetBlocker or Gamban on your devices.
• Share your limits with a trusted person for accountability.
• Seek professional support if gambling affects your life.
